The Sheridan-R0sser Affair.
CHICAG0. May san, 1SS.


IL The editor Of he Alexandria Gazette!
Dear Sr-As union man from the firing on
Sumter until the end at Appomattox, have,
without surprise read General Sheridan's replies
to General Rossar, scmicoon and all, and I re-
get to have to admit that Sheridan is, was and
always will be what General Rosier says he is
As member of the Illinois Legislature, Joined
with every democrat there the day after Sheridan
illegally invaded the Louisiana Legislature and
drove out its mcmbcrg ut the point of the bayonet
in protesting against that outrage upon civil
rights and the House OF which | was q member
wired our unlimited censure of his high handed
move to the Speaker of the u. S. Hou.e OF Repre-
sertatiyes We realized how We would have felt
10 have our republican citizens branded
"banditti" and our lawmakers treated cs crim-
nails, yagabonds and ramps, and il made our blood
boil to know that United States troops hsd been
prostituted to such uses. Years afterwards,
upon Decoration Day, when soldiers from
the sunny South-Norfolk, think.--hsd
at Boston hung gigantic wreath of
roses the soldiers monument, after the
centennial, when all who hal hearts that beat
in unison Cor peace and the perpetuity OF our

coins friend, Leonard Sweet esq, and other ora
tors had praised the dead and exhOrted the living
to do all in their power to know no North. no
South no East and no West, but to make Union
and Liberty one and inseparable by forgiving and
forgetting the psst and spreading flowers over the
gravesof the blue and the gray aud king just
joi Will reward the true and the brave who bat
tied for what they believed WAS the right-when
The applause which greeted these true American
sentiments had subsidized and loyal men and wom-
en- were catcd at the brightest era which seemed
about to dawn upon them, General Sheridan was
called for and stepping forward in substance stated
that we should not be in hurry to forgive the
South" much to the disgust of the whole audience,
and showing thai he has wasted his time, If his
Christian wife has been able to induce him to say
the Lords Prayer since the war, in asking his final
Judge ito forgive him rs lie does OthoIs;'' for if
his prayer is answered he will receiver warmer
reception below than lie would in the Shenandoah
Valley even at General Rosser's request
Sheridan is an instance Oft the fact that eiuca'

natures, which, given their natural bent, without
those props would grovel in the ditch with the

The New Proposition.

Sir Edward Thornton and Mr.. Braith-
waite having received kilograms from Lon
don during the day, yesterday evening
placed in the hands of Speaker Stuart new
proposition for The settlement of The debt
through the medium OF the Council OF For
egn Bondholders.
With q majority of the Legislative com
mittee it is question whether they are au.
thorized to proceed any further win nego
tiations, having already reported to the TWO
Houses that they had received toe usttma
tum Of the commissioners, ard said, In SUB
stance, that the conference was closed. at
the same time it is not doubted that the
new proposition will be received.
This session, it is expected. will be brought
to close about the ooh of May.
The last offer is more favorable thar the
ultimatum. 1t is free from many of the con-
ditions that made that proposition difficult
of acceptance by the Legislature but still
the bondholders do not offer to surrender
any Of their principal, bnt point out how it
can be largely diminished by The cancella-
ton Of several millions of the debt which
the State owes to herself. The net revenues
demanded 10 meet the interest charges as
proposed in this fua! Mtimatum are about
100000 per annum.
Mr.. Braithwaite regards this last ulti
matum as Offering better terms than WAS
proposed by Mr. Royal, and he has no
doubt at all of the States ability.to meet the
interest demanded and that without increase
Of taxation or materially interfering with
present appropriations.
Governor Lee and Hon. John S. Barbour
were both apprised last night of The details
of this latest offer,
In the recent deliberations the utmost
that The legislative committee could see its
way clear to doing was to offer q principal
sun OF $25 ,000,O 900 at per cent. interest {;
the last proposition of Messrs. Thornton and
Braithwaite exceeded this sum by $4,000.
900 CT principal and about $4,000 per an
mum of interest.
A very distinguished member Of the COM
mittee has said that if Messrs. Thornton
and Rraithwate had offered to fund the
whole debt-all principal and all overdue
interest-into principal sum of $50, 600, 900
in bonds running for fifty years at 3! per
cent. per annum, it would probably have
been adopted for submission to the people.

To Reduce Taxation.

The following is the resolution introduced by
Mr.. Koiner, of Augusta, and adopted By the House
of Delegates yesterday which was referred TO by
the Richmond correspondent of the GAZETTE in
his dispatches.
Whereas all efforts m ade to settle the State debt

bondholders association have failed; and where's
every admissible subject OF taxation has been
sought and taxed to augment the revenue to raw
The interest on the public debt under the various
schemes of settlement which have been proposed
by the State; aud whereas the proffer of settle
ment has been continued for more than five years
and accepted by only a small portion of the pub
lie creditors, and the excess Of revenue produced
by the increased taxation over the necessary ex-
penditures of the government in its several de
pariments, and the interest on the debt IS pro-
vidtd under the act of 18th February. 1882. if

relief TO them and would be more pr ftsby en-
poyed until the creditors Of the State Shall mani

From letter in to-day's GAZETTE, it
seems that other people, among them ct
least one member of the Illinois legislature,
have no better opinion of General Sheridan
th,n General Rosser has. The evil that
N al do lives with as well as after them, and
no man guilty of the nhuman barbaritles OF
General Sheridan can hope to outlive the
effects of the memory thereof There were
hundreds of thousands of federal soldiers in
the Valley of Virginia during the war, but
of all that vast number the only two who
are now thought of with harsh feelings by
the people of that devastated country, are
General Hunter, now dead, and General
Sheridan, who still lives as an example OF
the barbarous cruelty of which human nature
is capable in the civilized nineteenth CEN
tury.

TEN THOUSAND immigrants arrived at
New York yesterday. Ten thousand work
ing people added in one day to the toiling
masses of the country, without let or him
drance. To country in some parts Of
which, and especially those parts in which
these immigrants first set foot. there is not
enough work to employ all the labor already
there, such an influx of people seeking
work is any thing else than advantageous.
A sparsely settled country may well afford
a home to the oppressed of all the nations of
the world, but it is vastly different with one
of sixty million people, aud in the cities of
which the laboring people are already fight
ing for employment.

THs NINETY SECOND annual Council of
the Protestant Episcopal Church in this d.

Tue y1NRrY SECOND annual Council of
the Protestant Episcopal Church in this d.
cease meets, according to appointment, on
Wednesday, the 18th inst, at St. PsuPs
church, in this city. 1t will continue IN
session during the week, and close on the
following Sunday night, with the Bishop s
address. Both Bishops will make their OIL
fetal addresses, includin. reports of their
work for the past year, early in the session.
A large number of ministers and lay oeie-
gstss are expected. Among matters OF
bu,iness coming before this council, IL Is
opi.e certain that the work with the coloreo
people will demand its serious attention. IL
ia also probable that proposed amendEehV
TO the constitution, giving seats to no cier'
pymeu. unless they are presbyters, VIII
come up. The proposition made at the last
Genera, Convention to change the name OF
the church, may lead to some decided e1'
prsssions Of the determination of this dio
cese to remain by the ancient landmarks
Some action will very likely be taken upon
the changes in the Book of Common
pesver. AS there has been failure
to collect the full amount of the con-
tiugent fund for some years past, and as
the diocesan expenses to which it is devot
ed are increased, better methods for raising
it will in all probability be discussed, and, II
practicable, will no doubt be adopted. The
attention of the council will aso probably
be given to evangelistic services, as there Is
such an extent of missionary ground IN The
diocese, aud as present means and forces are
inadequate for carrying on the work Other
questions of more or less interest, when 1t
is impossi3le to anticipate will doubtless be
brought up, and engage some OF the time oil

avail themselves of, for exercising their
tongues and using their pens. But why
they should persist in wasting time in the
discussion of the advantages or disadvant-
ages of an utter impossibiity, is what they
alone can tell Virginia gave the national
government all the Northwest Territory;
the national government subsequently rob

it to take any more from her, without her
